Title :“Happy… Just Not With Me”

Title :“Happy… Just Not With Me” Verse 1 I see you laughing from across the room Golden light hits you different at noon You tilt your head when you’re really into it God, I swear I could live in that little moment You don’t even know I’m memorizing The way your hands move when you’re excited You look alive in a way I’ve never seen And I love that for you… even if it kills me Pre-Chorus You say my name like I’m safe and familiar But your eyes… they’re somewhere else And I already know Chorus I love the way you’re happy The way your whole world glows The way you talk so passionately Like your heart finally knows I love the way you’re shining Like you found what you need I just wish the reason Was me Verse 2 When you talk to me, you light up Tell me everything, you don’t hold back You trust me with the little things But not the part that’s got your heart attached You say his name like it’s gravity Like it pulls you in naturally And I smile like I’m fine with it While something in me quietly cracks Pre-Chorus I’d never dim your brightness Just to make it mine So I stand here in the background And draw the line Chorus I love the way you’re happy The way your whole world glows The way you talk so passionately Like your heart finally knows I love the way you’re shining Like you’re finally free I just wish the reason Was me Verse 3 Sometimes I wonder if you notice How I go quiet when he calls How I change the subject gently So my voice won’t give it all I’d rather be the one you lean on Than the one who disappears But loving you this way means Swallowing these tears Bridge (soft, almost whispered) If loving you means watching you Choose somebody else Then I’ll love you from a distance And keep it to myself Final Chorus (slightly bigger) I love the way you’re happy Even if it’s not with me I love the way you’re blooming Like you’re finally where you need to be I’d never steal your sunshine Just to fix what’s left of me I love the way you’re happy… Just not with me
